The Effect of Training Methods And Coordination on Futsal Goalkeeper Skills

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of training methods and coordination on futsal goalkeeper skills. Specifically, this study aims to determine: (1) the differences in the effects of drill, situational, and mixed training methods on futsal goalkeeper skills; (2) the effect of coordination on futsal goalkeeper skills; and (3) the interaction between training methods and coordination on futsal goalkeeper skills. This study employed an experimental method with a 3×2 factorial design. The independent variables in this study were training methods, consisting of drill training (A1), situational training (A2), and mixed training (A3), while the moderator variable was coordination, consisting of high coordination (B1) and low coordination (B2). The study population consisted of Pamulang University students who actively participated in futsal activities. The sample comprised 90 students selected using purposive sampling. The sample was divided into six treatment groups, each consisting of 15 participants. Coordination was measured using the Wall Toss Test, while futsal goalkeeping skills were assessed using a modified futsal goalkeeping skills test instrument. Data analysis utilized descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA) with two factors, and Tukey’s HSD post-hoc test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the study indicate that: (1) there is a significant effect of training method on futsal goalkeeping skills (F = 3.387; Sig. = 0.038); (2) coordination had a significant effect on futsal goalkeeping skills (F = 75.893; Sig. = 0.000); and (3) there was a significant interaction between training method and coordination on futsal goalkeeping skills (F = 7.444; Sig. = 0.001). Further analysis showed that the group using the mixed training method with high coordination demonstrated the greatest improvement in futsal goalkeeping skills compared to the other groups.
